Higher education for thalassemics

Hello everyone,


I am interested in researching on thalassemia and its cure and for this I plan to study further. I have came up with a solution but it needs to be worked upon.

I am from India and wish to pursue my higher education (MS) from Europe or North America where facilities in this subject is better.

I am not sure about health insurance, coverage, thalassemia centres and assistance around the world, so I request all of you to please inform me.


Kindly tell.


Regards,
Michi

Welcome to the forums!

I really shouldn't laugh about this, but I did when I saw your profile message and remembered Andy's at the same time.

Will thal rule you or will you rule thal?

vs.

I will kill thalassemia before it kills me!

Thats similar. Is he a scientist too?

Michi,
I am not sure about Europe. But in US, you can get student insurance and with the obama care, insurance request cannot be denied due to pre-existing condition. You should also get in touch with Cooleys Anemia Foundation to get some additional information.
